Annotated 22-5

Chapter:

Not sure whether or not we should have done a little more with Ashok’s “tactical genius.” He doesn’t really seem to see things through the eyes of a tactician anywhere in this chapter. Before his story is through, we’ll realize that his threat-assessment abilities are a wee bit overrated, but watching him try and fail to show a tactical mind before then might’ve been amusing.

Or distracting: he and Ulak have to hit a balance between grabbing too much of the spotlight and not enough. They’re rounded enough to be interesting characters, but they are ultimately secondary ones; the main character in their scenes is Brother Tom or the convention itself.

Remember conventions? AKA “pre-Coronavirus gatherings?”
